Price
Don’t forget to check around for coupons before making your purchase. This is where I get my coupons: Danscomp coupons
2019 Fiend Embryo Type O is a mid priced mid end bike. I do believe that Fiend is similar to Apple in the sense that you pay for the name. For $429.95 you are getting a well balanced bike that can shred park, street and dirt.
Quality
Fiend bikes are built well. I think that the 2019 Fiend Embryo O is pretty good. I like that you can find a lower quality version (O-) and a higher quality version (O+) Garret is smart for doing this because often times, riders want a bike that is somewhere in the middle of their options.
Highlights
GOOD PARTS 😍
Quality beginner bike for a lowish price, with a chromoly front triangle.
Lowlights
Parts are built for low tricks 🤬
The 2019 Fiend Embryo has parts like
- Single Wall Rims
- Hi-tensile Bars
- Hi-Tensle back triangle

Park
Riding park on the Fiend Embryo type O is perfect if you are at the stage where you work on: Airs, Drop ins, T-Bogs and similar tricks.
DO NOT BUY IF YOU PLAN TO DO BIG 360’S, FLAIRS, FLIPS AND 540’S. The single wall rims and hi-tensile parts will not withstand it.
Street
If you decide to ride street on this bike the same things apply’s. Great for small stuff. Just don’t send anything down huge gaps or huge stair sets. You will need to buy some pegs, just make sure you do not bend your axles.
Dirt
The size and geometry is set up well to ride dirt. If a tall person was to try and ride dirt on this bike it will feel really fast and uncontrolled because of the small specs. For a small person, this will be a good bike to ride dirt.
Conclusion 🤩
If you are looking to get into bmx and be able to ride street, park and dirt, you will love this bike. It’s not super expensive and the bike will last pretty well for a beginner.
